Chapter 87

"Huh! Finally came out!"

Qiao Lei wiped the sweat off his forehead full of joy. He lost his way in circles along the way and encountered many groups of monsters, but luckily he had the magic weapon bestowed by Tianzun.

With enough aura, you don’t have to worry about being attacked, and even shot a lot of game with a long gun, so that you couldn’t carry it anymore, so you had to make a simple "trailer", which was full of trophies.

Qiao Lei dragged the flexible branches, trying to drag a bunch of spoils to the city, and at the same time waved his hand to greet the guards on duty on the tower, "Brother Guard, has the team that went out to explore come back?"

The guard was slightly taken aback when he heard the shout, leaned on the city wall, glanced and exclaimed, "It's Qiao Lei! Qiao Lei is back!"

Other guards rushed over to watch the fun.

"It's really him, fate!"

"A priest who participated in the exploration operation for the first time, actually stayed in the dark forest for a day and a night by himself, setting a record, right?"

"There is no means of attack, how can it be supported by the holy light defense alone? The spiritual energy is definitely not enough, it has been too long."

"Weird things happen every year, especially this year..."

"Hurry down and pick him up, Xiao Wu, report to the exploration team!"

……

More than a dozen guards on the city wall were talking about it. Some people lay on their stomachs to watch the excitement; some people went down to the city gate to meet him;

This morning, the exploration team came back from the dark forest in a panic.Not only lost a new priest, but also lost all of them. Everyone was very sad when they found out.

Originally, there were very few priests in Xuecheng, but now they went out to explore and lost one. Not only did everyone return empty-handed, but two were seriously injured.

After the brief dark forest appears, there will be a month-long abyss, and it will be more difficult to explore and collect supplies. I am afraid that many people in the city will starve.

The daily consumption of 10 people is quite terrifying.

Syracuse cannot be planted. Whether it is meat, fruits, vegetables, herbs, etc., it is difficult for the exploration team to obtain.With fewer and fewer awakened spirit warriors in the past two years, their burden is already heavy.

I heard that the city owner needs to use the inventory from time to time to ensure that everyone can have enough food.

After the last group of explorers returned in embarrassment, everyone's hearts became more and more heavy.

However, just as the city lord was about to preside over the funeral of Qiao Lei who died in the line of duty, he unexpectedly came back safe and sound!

And it looks like a lot has been gained!
"Qiao Lei, are you lucky?" The guard who opened the city gate to meet him didn't dare to rush forward.

Seeing that there was no abnormality after the other party stepped on the shiny isolation belt in front of the city gate, he stepped forward to take the rope made of flexible branches and dragged a large pile of meat into the city.

The huge city gate was closed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they haven't rotated to the abyss yet, the guards still don't dare to be careless.After all, those who come back from the outside are not necessarily real people, especially the changeling monsters in the abyss, which can imitate humans and cannot tell the real ones from the fake ones.

However, none of the monsters dared to step through that barrier.

This is the last defense measure of Syracuse, it can be used to distinguish the phantoms and also can isolate most monsters from approaching the city.

"So much meat, how do you do it?"

"I heard from the captain that there was something wrong with the cooperation of the priests and the team was attacked. How did you escape?"

"You didn't have any injuries at all, and you brought back so much food, Qiao Lei, you're very good!"

"You can use the loot to exchange a lot of points for the first mission, it's amazing!"

……

Everyone gathered around, curious and amazed.

However, Qiao Lei couldn't care less about chatting with them and bragging. He had more important things to tell the city lord immediately.

"Huzi, help me take the spoils to the warehouse. I have something urgent to do." He handed the branch to Li Hu, who had a good relationship, and ran to the city through the crowd.

Snow City, which can accommodate more than [-] people, is quite large, and the City Lord's Mansion is near the center, so the distance is really not close.

I don't know what year, month, and who built the gray-white building, which is tall and spacious, covered with ice and snow for many years, but it doesn't have the slightest sense of desolation.On the contrary, because almost every building is inhabited, it is full of life.

Qiao Lei ran by and looked over with curious eyes from time to time.

It is not easy for ordinary residents living in Syracuse.

The exploration team needs to pay the price of life-threatening at any time to find supplies, and the residents without skills also need to exchange hard work for points to exchange for food and daily necessities.

Even children are not exempt.

In addition to study time, they should help their families do what they can to reduce the burden.

Qiao Lei ran fast, and the boots made of animal skins made a "gudong" sound when they stepped on the cleared road.He was already very tired, hardly resting day and night, looking for the way back to the city, protecting himself and hunting.

But now he doesn't feel tired at all.

Tell the city lord about Tianzun as soon as possible, and order people to hurry up to build an altar, praise his name and ask for asylum.

Even if Tianzun can't give more help, just give people a magic weapon to store spiritual energy, all spiritual warriors in the entire snow city will benefit a lot.

At least the encounter with the exploration team last night will not recur.

There is no need for each team to be paired with two priests to take turns to work. Store more aura during the rest time, and one priest can handle it.

This is a great happy event, so naturally we must not delay it!

"Qiao Lei, it's really you!"

"Great! We all thought..."

……

The news of his safe return quickly spread throughout the explorer's camp. His companions rushed over after hearing the news, all of them bandaged up with wounds. It seemed that they had less luck after being dispersed.

"Qiao Lei, I'm so sorry, last night was all my mistake..." Liao Yuanshan, another priest in the same team, was filled with guilt.

The other party was a new priest on a mission for the first time, and did not make any mistakes until the aura was exhausted.I have been on missions countless times in my 30s, and I made a mistake in coordinating, causing the team to be scattered by the attack, which is really inappropriate.

Qiao Lei waved his hand and said, "When someone hasn't made a mistake, I'm fine. Brother Yuanshan, you don't have to blame yourself. I have something urgent to see the city lord as soon as possible, and we'll talk later!"

Leaving his companions looking at each other in dismay, he jumped into a sheep-drawn cart and waved his whip. The huge but docile giant sheep ran and pulled the sled quickly to the center of the city.

"He's not hurt at all!"

"It doesn't seem to be very tired, it's completely different from us!"

"How did a new priest do it? I heard that Qiao Lei brought back a lot of spoils."

"It's not a ghost..."

……

The captain's right arm was bandaged on the left and right, and he couldn't participate in the mission for at least a month.He couldn't figure it out, it was so dangerous last night, and he led the soldiers desperately to stabilize without causing more casualties.

For safety reasons, I did not lead the search.

After all, the team is full of wounded, and a priest who has no experience and has exhausted his aura in the dark forest for the first time will not survive no matter what.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Lei not only survived but was also unscathed.

Isn't this a great miracle?
There is a large square in the center of Syracuse. Since a memorial stone was erected here, the central square was officially renamed Memorial Square.

The stele is engraved with the spirit warriors who died in the exploration mission for nearly a hundred years.

Every year Syracuse people hold commemorative activities to express their gratitude for the deceased’s contribution to Syracuse.Tonight, the city lord will personally carve Qiao Lei's name on it and hold a funeral for him in the Martyrs Cemetery and set up a tomb.

Qiao Lei has no relatives anymore, so not many people will come to the ceremony.

It was just beginning to get dark, and everything was under intense preparation.
